Crystal Lake Cast, Showrunner, Writer, Plot And More Details

"Crystal Lake" is looking like something of a "Friday the 13th" reunion, with actress Adrienne King, writer Victor Miller, and producer Rob Barsamian all returning to the franchise they helped kickstart. However, there may be another "Friday the 13th" legend in the mix, one who will take the series to bloody new levels.

In April 2023, showrunner Bryan Fuller posted a pic on Twitter showing himself alongside the one and only Tom Savini. The photo was accompanied with the caption, "Talking stabby calendar days with O.G. @THETomSavini." Horror fans know that Savini is one of the genre's greatest effects artists, having worked on projects like "Dawn of the Dead," "Creepshow," and "The Burning." He's also played in movies like "From Dusk Till Dawn" and directed the 1990 remake of "Night of the Living Dead."

Perhaps most famously, Savini did the effects for the first "Friday the 13th" film, a movie that has no shortage of great kills. Savini also worked on "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter," which is widely considered to be one of the very best Jason Voorhees movies. If Savini is indeed joining the "Crystal Lake" team, then we can't wait to see what gory gags he has in store.
